About Me

new to the world of homeownership, i shall endeavour to use this new blog as a place to whitter on about my new life as a gardener and home handy woman extraordinaire! wish me luck.
as i don't like the linky way blogger does "interests" and such, i'll write them in here instead.
gardening~ in particular implementing the principles of companion planting, organics and biodynamics, and permaculture. which all go together of course!
back-to-basics in the kitchen~ making preserves, baking, and trying my hand at cheesemaking.
internetting~ i can't call myself a true hippy with my attachment to modern forms of communication.
and on the subject of communication~ i love to write letters and postcards, and intend to do more of it. especially hand-drawn postcards. requests accepted.
books~ many many varied books. yes please. i like quirky films, leonard cohen makes my heart ache in a good way, and i like other music too.

harvesting awesome salads from the garden these sunny days... lettuce, rocket, radishes, spring onions, herbs galore, snow peas, broad beans. yum yum!
potatoes are looking marvelous, should be ready to harvest the early ones in a few weeks. my aztec triangle is taking shape, though for some reason my climbing beans split their stalks before they managed to push a leaf out. odd.
life revolves around the garden at the moment, it's so lush and full of life and the veges look as beautiful as the roses do.
